Angry Gearbox control unit fried, so might have to scrap the entire car!!

Hi Guys,

Just ranting really. We found out that the reason my A6 wouldn't come out of park was that the auto gearbox control module had got water damaged. Since then, I have been trying to find a secondhand one, or someone to repair the damaged unit. So far nothing! Apparently the things are as rare as hen's teeth here in the UK and I have already had one electronic repair co. say that they aren't prepared to touch the ECU with a barge pole.

With this being the case, I guess my only option is to scrap the car as I certainly can't afford a new module from Audi as that's more than I would ever get for the whole car, plus the car needs a new MOT too.

If anyone has any suggestions I would be grateful.

Cheers,

Stewart

Many thanks for the links, but I'm afraid that I really need someone in the UK to take a look at the ECU for me.

Thanks again,

Stewart

Better start expanding your horizons unless you are prepared to part out your car
